[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reminder that native Spanish speaking is NOT the same thing as low income, especially in the context of Immersion at APS. [/quote] True, but again, in this context it is important since the immersion program is supposed to be 50/50.[/quote] This is a pretty important point. There are actually two Spanish speaking communities. One that is mostly white bilingual parents/South American Embassy parents/wealthy (and often white presenting) families from South of the Border. Then there's the resource-poor parents mostly from Central America, Puerto Rico and Venezuela. Both groups of children are actually considered ELL students. But one group definitely has more privilege than the other, and are usually bilingual before starting K. Which group actually continues the immersion pipeline? That's the question that needs to be asked. I suspect the poorer families, they may not continue through the Spanish Immersion program.[/quote]
